Bug#443979: CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=n fixes this (Bug#443979: Linux boot hangs on AMD Geode GX systems)

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

Hi,

we hit this bug with Geode systems "PC Engines ALIX.3C3 LX800" and
"IEI PCISA-LX-800-R11". We can avoid the early hang of the kernel if
recompile it with CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID disabled.

Steven, can you test if this solves the problem for you too?

best regards,
Timo Lindfors

Bug#517347: linux-image-2.6.28-1-686 writing to swap disk

[Jos van Wolput]

Package: linux-image-2.6.28-1-686
Version: 2.6.28-1: i386 (debian/unstable)
System: Debian/sid
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.70 GHz (Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 6)
Memory: 995.30 MB physical, 494.15 MB virtual

After upgrading  kernel 2.6.26-1-686 to 2.6.28-1-686 the system starts writing 
to the swap disk while the physical memory is not fully used.
After a quite short time of computing, the swap disk is full.
This never happened with kernel 2.6.26 nor any other previous kernel. 
Previously the swap disk was almost not used.
The only change I did was uprading the linux-image.

Best regards,
Jos v. Wolput

Package: linux-source module bttv
Version: linux-source-2.6.26 with linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Severity: normal

Excuse me, this my first report and I not sure. 

When compiled successfull module bttv, I copied it in 
/lib/module/2.6.26.../bt8xx/ and runned "modprobe bttv", I got this 
message "bttv: disagrees about version of symbol dump_stack".

It is like that version of dump_stack from linux-image not is the same 
that version of dump_stack from linux-source. 

I don't want to use kernel recompiled, I want to use module recompiled 
only.

We have been patching bnx2 to use a separate firmware file.  However it
seems that this patch was accidentally dropped for 2.6.28 and the driver
was left broken (so not built at all).  This should be fixed in the
first package of 2.6.29.

Sorry, I thought the clocks shown in sched_debug matched the log
timestamps, but I was wrong.  I think the divergence is a result of
cross-processor interactions, and my machine only has a single
processor.

Grepping the kernel source suggests that there is currently no way to
read the current value of the clock used by printk from user-space.  If
you are prepared to write a kernel module then you can get the value in
nanoseconds for a particular CPU using cpu_clock(cpu_id).

Bug#493832: ath5k disconnects regularly and has poor performance

[Daniel Velazquez]

My card worked correctly with Madwifi in Etch (stable). Lenny (stable) replaced 
it by ath5k and is really bad.

Also it worked bad in other distributions with a kernel more updated. It was a 
chaos until I discovered the problem: ath5k.

The speed and response of the ADSL connection are terribly bad with ath5k, nor 
approach a modem of 56 KB, although it does not become disconnected. I did not 
obtain better results when I deactivated IPv6 in the system and web browser.

Lamentably I must use propietary driver.

Regards.

Bug#517330: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: ide-tape hangs for 180s on boot and disables the cdrom

[Tzvetan Mikov]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal

Upgrade from Etch to Lenny. The computer has an IDE tape attached to 
hdd (slave). The cdrom is at hdc (master). It all worked fine under 
2.6.18.

Under 2.6.26 ide-tape hangs during boot at:
"[5.776016] ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: Seagate STT3401A rev 3"
After about 180 seconds the boot continues somehow, but as I understand 
it, the cdrom task is still frozen, so the tape and more importantly the
 CDROM are not working.

So, the problem is threefold:
- long delay on boot
- tape no longer working
- cdrom no longer working

I found a report on LKML that looks to be describing exactly the same
problem:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/21/148

The situation is dire since we have this same tape drive on many systems
and so far I haven't found a way to at least disable it via any 
configuration means. The "hdd=none" boot parameter has no efect. 
Blacklisting ide_tape in modprobe.d also doesn't affect it.

Bug#513915: firmware-bnx: no network device with xen kernel

[Casper Langemeijer]

I experienced the same: The xen kernel can't load the module on my 
Dell PE 2950.

I think this is because the postinst file does "update-initramfs -u"

This only builds the 2.6.26-1-amd64 initramfs image. The solution is to
manually do build the initramfs image for the xen kernel using
"update-initramfs -k 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 -u"

Or even better, a general: "update-initramfs -k all -u"

This is really is bug  #493863  and #494936 all over again.

You get everything: Naturally my interest is not the quality of Debian, 
but only to bother you the most I can.

It's not broken, it's common to have some things that are out of sync in
unstable...

Please reopen this bug.

Debian Policy 3.5 mandates correct package dependencies.

Debian Policy also applies to Debian unstable too.

The "unstable" refer to the collection of packages - each individual 
package released to "unstable" should itself be non-broken.

Use experimental for possibly-broken packages.

Bug#511334: debian-installer: S390 boot fails on Flex-ES machine

[Adam Thornton]

Actually, a 100 Hz timer seems to work.  Then I hang because I didn't  
load the DASD driver, but I think that's very likely just a problem  
with my generated RAMDISK.  So my recommendation would be to use a  
100Hz timer pop for s390 31-bit at least.  I wonder if this has  
anything to do with trying to run on emulated systems whose actual  
host timer tick is 100Hz?  I believe that to be the case for this  
SLES9 (I think) host for my Flex-box.

[Amaya]

Aioanei Rares wrote:

Same here what?


Well, with both 2.6.26-x and 2.6.28 I am unable to boot my amd64 
anymore. First my network card stopped working (e100), so I plugged  in 
a rt8139too and now the e100 works but I get random kernel oops at boot 
time, and I have seen what the original bug reporter describes also. A 
lot of fun indeed. I have been reading other bug reports on this kernel 
version and it looks dreadful. Sorry I can't provide more useful 
information atm. I am away from the computer, the frustration (since 
saturday night) has been too much to bear, and I am going through a very 
hard personal time in RL. I just wanted to say /me too, without getting 
too involved. That's all.

Bug#517243: linux-image-2.6.26-1-parisc64: tg3 probe triggers HPMC

[Thibaut VARENE]

Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-parisc64
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: normal

Booting lenny's kernel with a known working Tigon3 card (BCM5701) in the box 
triggers an HPMC during driver probe.

I couldn't capture the console output yet, but ISTR the box crashing before the 
driver's output of DMA setup line. I'll provide additional info ASAP.

AFAICT this doesn't happen with older (2.6.22) kernel.

Bug#517241: linux-image-2.6.28-1-amd64: Audio (Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family)) broken

[Sam Morris]

Package: linux-image-2.6.28-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.28-1
Severity: normal

Under the 2.6.28 kernel, audio does not work properly on my laptop.

If I plug in some headphones, audio still comes out of the main laptop
speakers. Audio out of the headphone port is very quiet, and adjusting the
volume does not make it any louder or quieter (though it does affect the main
laptop speakers as normal).

Re: [Lenny] linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 kernel panic on boot

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi Cedric

I agree that "can not boot" is a big problem. But there is a  
workaround for the problem and at the point of analysis of the bug  
report I understood that it was not on all systems.


Best regards,

// Ola

Quoting Cedric Jeanneret :

"not a big bug" ? ermm system can't boot... if that's not a   
"grave bug"...


we'll use the old deprecated fza-kernel until the new patched kernel  
 is out...


Regards,

C.

Hi Cedric

There are two answers for that question:
1) The patch seems to be a potential ABI breaker. I do not say it is
an ABI breaker, but it needs some analysis before telling that. ABI
breakers has not been allowed for a quite long time during the lenny
freeze period.

2) It has not been a grave bug and lenny has been in a freeze period.

However this bug is a good candidate for the next release update of lenny.

right it is a minor nudge, not worth reporting as we won't release with

Yes, I just installed the package directly from a mirror.  I haven't
rebuilt it with any changed options.

Same here what?

had to add irqpoll for Lenny kernel; irqpoll breaks Lenny kernel

[Dale E. Martin]

[Originally posted to debian-user where there weren't any replies.  More
details of hardware etc can be supplied if requested.  Please Cc replies to
me.]

I have a machine that was running Etch (and using the 2.6.18-k7 kernel) for
the entire release.  It had uptimes over 100 days a few times during that
period.

I recently updated it to Lenny and not too long after rebooting it I saw
kernel messages talking about how noone cared about IRQ 21 interrupts and
to turn on irqpoll.  (IRQ 21 was attached to my USB devices and they
weren't working so I had to reboot at this stage.)

When I boot with irqpoll, the machine crashes after some time.  Basically
it becomes fully unresponsive - not driving video, the numlock key doesn't
work on the keyboard any more, etc.

I booted it back into Etch's 2.6.18 (accidently with irqpoll) and it died
this horrible death again.  I took irqpoll off the kernel arguments and now
the machine has been up and stable for several days.

Any thoughts about this?  Is the new need for irqpoll a kernel bug or is it
exposing an underlying hardware problem?  If it's the latter why is this
hardware so stable running 2.6.18?

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
  Dale

"not a big bug" ? ermm system can't boot... if that's not a "grave bug"...

we'll use the old deprecated fza-kernel until the new patched kernel is out...

Re: [Lenny] linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 kernel panic on boot

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi Cedric

There are two answers for that question:
1) The patch seems to be a potential ABI breaker. I do not say it is  
an ABI breaker, but it needs some analysis before telling that. ABI  
breakers has not been allowed for a quite long time during the lenny  
freeze period.


2) It has not been a grave bug and lenny has been in a freeze period.

However this bug is a good candidate for the next release update of lenny.

Best regards,

// Ola

Now the question is : why is the patch provided in this bug NOT

Re: [Lenny] linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 kernel panic on boot

Hi again,
After some poking arround, my bug is exactly this one :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500876
I just tried to boot the server with "maxcpus=4", and all works...

Now the question is : why is the patch provided in this bug NOT applied to 
lenny stable kernel ??
